3DMark is coming to Android phones near you in 2012
Futuremark, father of 3DMark and PCMark, has begun work on an Android edition of its benchmarking software. Wittily titled 3DMark for Android, it'll bring the industry-standard testing tools to all the phones in Google's yard. When finished, users will be able to measure performance by pushing the phone's CPU, rendering, openGL and physics engines to the limits. Results will be comparable against the company's newest software, including the forthcoming Windows 8 build. It's inviting handset makers to join a benchmark development program, an exclusive club that already has AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, Imagination Technologies, Dell and HP on the guest list, you can see the full PR after the break -- just be advised, it's black tie only.
Next-gen phones to be like PSP
Tim Closs, chief tech officer at Ideaworks 3D has boldly proclaimed that the next generation of mobile phones will be able to produce PSP-quality graphics. "The high-end mobile devices, especially those with hardware graphics association, are comparable in performance to maybe a DS, and the next generation are going to be comparable maybe to PSP."The upcoming generation of mobile phones will be amazing. At DigitalLife, nVidia showed off some impressive phone technology which can produce some amazing graphics, as pictured above in Futuremark's mobile version of 3DMark. With phones already being able to take photos, watch videos, and stream music, it won't be long before the PSP's amazing feature set can be completely replicated on a phone. No wonder Sony's working so hard on a PlayStation phone.[Via GI.biz]
